Finding the ratio of the two is actually very easy. Here, you can use this formula to make it easier:     Italian hoagies : Total hoagies

Simply find the number of italian and the total.

@MikeyMaximum , You should explain how to get the correct answer, before just giving it straight. Otherwise, it takes away the chance for the asker to think it out themselves, which is true learning.

Therefore she has learned.
